The review presents pediatric adverse drug events from a historical perspective and focuses on selected safety issues associated with off-label use of medications for the psychiatric treatment of youth. Clinical monitoring procedures for major psychotropic drug classes are reviewed. Prior studies suggest that systematic treatment monitoring is warranted so as to both minimize risk of unexpected adverse events and exposures to ineffective treatments. Clinical trials to establish the efficacy and safety of drugs currently being used off-label in the pediatric population are needed. In the meantime, clinicians should consider the existing evidence-base for these drugs and institute close clinical monitoring.
这篇综述从历史角度介绍了儿科药物不良反应,并重点关注了与儿童精神科治疗中药物标签外使用相关的选定安全问题。审查了主要精神药物类别的临床监测程序。先前的研究表明,有必要进行系统的治疗监测,以尽量减少意外不良事件的风险和接触无效治疗的风险。需要进行临床试验以确定目前在儿科人群中标签外使用的药物的疗效和安全性。在此期间,临床医生应考虑这些药物的现有证据基础,并进行密切的临床监测。
